How do you carry your permit?

[Guest Bonedaddy]

With my DL in my wallet. LEO's don't like it if you don't inform them immediately. And I wouldn't either if I were one. He may want to dissarm you during the course of business but you'll get it back. Unless you really screwed up.

And by what right would a legally armed citizen be disarmed during the 'course of business'? Yes, I know LEOs must look out for their own safety but I also believe that LEOs should respect the fact that the HCP holder has passed background checks, etc. To tell the truth, I may not feel entirely comfortable with some uniformed guy standing outside my window with a 'Glock fortay' on his hip - can I ask him to disarm during the course of business, as well? I mean, I don't know the guy and just because he wears a badge doesn't mean I am going to instantly trust him - he might still be a loose cannon. If he is going to require a legally armed citizen to disarm then he should extend the same courtesy. Unless a crime that invalidates the HCP has been committed, I figure than an HCP holder has as much right to retain his/her weapon during a traffic stop as the LEO.

My wallet has an 'insert' for carrying ID, debit card, etc. No, not like a 'badge' wallet, just a removeable insert that allows you to take out the ID, debit/credit card, maybe a couple of bucks and so on if you don't want to carry the entire wallet with you. It is a small, thin bi-fold piece that is slightly larger than the cards. You slide one side into a slot in the wallet to carry it in the wallet. Anyway, on the inside, both halves have a clear, plastic 'window'. I have my DL in one side and my HCP in the other. I also carry my fishing and hunting licenses folded up and tucked behind one or the other. I try to avoid getting stopped in the first place but if I do I figure that will give me an quick and easy way to show the officer both my DL and HCP in a more convenient package than trying to dig out two cards, etc. Since I keep the HCP side stuck into the slot in the wallet, if a store clerk, etc. asks to see my ID for a credit card transaction I can just open the wallet and show them the DL side, keeping the HCP out of view.

[Guest Muttling]

I have my HCP and DL in the same slot in my wallet so I can produce both at the same time easily if needed.

Me too

Ditto Wallet behind DL

[Guest mikedwood]

Wallet behind DL and in between them I have my insurance cards for good measure

My HCP badge is at Austin's Tennessee Firearms getting my name engraved on it. So if you want to get one, give them a call and tell them Mike sent you. They will give you a real good deal on an engraved HCP badge I'm sure of it

I must be the only only one that wears it around my neck next to the badge like Dog the bounty hunter.

So you need a permit for a paintball gun?

So you need a permit for a paintball gun?

Almost you have to be a leo or own your own "security company" according to the pepperball website.

At least it was like that when it first came out. I wanted to purchase one to have at the farm to shoot my neighbors bull when he threatened me through the fence. I was going to light his face up and nuts up with pepper balls.

[Alpha7]

I need one of these

I got one of those( actually that's a Tippmann A-5). Get a flatline barrel and you can hit targets around 50+ yards straight on.

There is also stink paintballs out there( smells like rotten eggs)

And Yes I carry my permit in my wallet as well.

In my wallet, with my DL. I have a ID holder that is clear on both sides. The front is my DL, and the back is my HCP.

I do take it out every night and polish it, though...

LOL...me too ..

[moondawg]

On a chain around my neck, in one of those ID holders.

Acutally, I carry it in my wallet.

[Guest SouthernSaltine]

I have 2 copies. I keep one in my wallet, and one in the visor of my truck. Just incase i forget my wallet, or loose it.

[Guest kjdavis722]

I also have 2 copies, 1 over my visor and 1 in my wallet, keep the 1 over my visor to show LEO so the dont mistake me reaching for my wallet as me reaching for my weapon.

[Guest pws_smokeyjones]

I wear my HCP badge on a leather flip-wallet around my neck with my HCP inside it. That way in an emergency at the mall I can flip it open so that everyone knows how cool I am while I take care of the situation.

Kidding of course. I carry it in my regular wallet in the same slot with my DL. I find it handy to have DL, HCP and Vehicle insurance all together because if I need one, I will more than likely need either of the other two as well.

[molonlabetn]

I duct-tape it to my forehead when I open-carry... otherwise it's in my wallet next to my DL.

[Guest Jamie]

You guys with the duct tape are sissies... I staple mine to my forehead. It helps hold my hat on when it's windy out.

[Guest db99wj]

I have mine stuck in one of my forehead wrinkles...

Mine is still behind my DL in my wallet. If the police get up to me before I can get to it, I will inform, then carry out whatever instructions they give me. Inform...hmm...another one of those dead horse things Mike should have put in his pole!

[Guest uofmeet]

I carry it in my wallet behind my DL but it is not behind one of those clear things. and i thought we only had to produce it if asked.

Although i don't have a gun yet, I am thinking if i am carrying and get pulled over, i will automatically hand them both, but if i am not carrying, prob just the DL

[Guest Runnfree]

Right behind my DL in a badge wallet. Fireman's badge wallet.

[Guest goomba]

in my wallet.

[JPS]

HCP right behind the DL in the same slot.

Me too. (I filed the edges down on my HCP badge and keep it handy in my pocket for when I need a throwing star.)

[Guest GallatinTN]

In my fanny pack.
